Simulate your presence at different times

Are you away from home for more than 24 hours? smart home is able to simulate your presence thanks to the programming by you of your lighting, your television, your roller shutters and even music: as if you were there!

Monitor your home remotely and control it in real time

Receive a notification when an abnormal situation occurs in your country? It's possible! It's possible! Directly on your smartphone or by connecting to the Internet on a fixed station; at your choice according to what you have on hand 🙂

You can view in real time what is happening inside or outside your home thanks to the installation of a smart motion sensor or smart cameras. With a camera, as soon as movement is detected, the camera captures photos or videos. He then warns you.

If you detect an undesirable or abnormal situation, you can orient the camera(s), film and decide to trigger and/or interrupt the alarm remotely. Some models even have microphones and speakers, so you can listen to the ambient sound or communicate directly with your family members who have stayed at home in your absence.

Create customized scenes

If you equip your home with several smart objects, you can also build anti-intrusion scenes to secure your home.

In the event of a burglary, for example, the presence detector signals an intrusion and sends this information to the other connected objects: the alarm goes off, the cameras film the people present, the shutters and openings close automatically, while alerting a relative, a security agency or the police station.

Obviously, all this will only be possible if all these objects are compatible with each other. And since it is not always easy - or sometimes too expensive - to buy from a single supplier, consider the "voice assistant" option. With Google Home or Amazon Alexa, you can connect objects of different brands.
